If you need to initialize a session for the request in tests to manipulate it directly:

from django.contrib.sessions.middleware import SessionMiddleware
from django.http import HttpRequest


request = HttpRequest()

middleware = SessionMiddleware()
middleware.process_request(request)

request.session.save()
